What are common errors encountered when trying to import a MySQL dump without using phpMyAdmin?
Common errors encountered when trying to import a MySQL dump without using phpMyAdmin include issues with file permissions, syntax errors in the SQL dump file, and exceeding the maximum file size allowed for importing. To solve these issues, make sure the file permissions are set correctly, review the SQL dump file for any syntax errors, and split the dump file into smaller chunks if it exceeds the maximum file size allowed for importing.
// Example PHP code to import a MySQL dump file without using phpMyAdmin
// Set file path to the MySQL dump file
$dump_file = 'path/to/dumpfile.sql';
// Connect to MySQL database
$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database');
// Check if connection is successful
if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
die('Connection failed: ' . $mysqli->connect_error);
}
// Read the dump file and execute each query
$queries = file_get_contents($dump_file);
$queries = explode(';', $queries);
foreach ($queries as $query) {
$result = $mysqli->query($query);
if (!$result) {
echo 'Error executing query: ' . $mysqli->error;
}
}
// Close connection
$mysqli->close();
